Our story begins many years ago on the campus of UNLV. Megan was a freshman at UNLV and pledging her sorority Delta Zeta. Michael was a senior at UNLV and a brother of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity (as known as Pike). Michael was very involved with the fraternity and would frequently come into the Delta Zeta chapter meetings to tell all the sisters about their philanthropy events, parties and such that were coming up. And the Pikes always brought us flowers which was a nice touch. Megan thought Michael was really cute when he would come in and speak at the chapter meetings.

Fast forward 4 years later, Megan was a senior in college and graduating in just a few short weeks. Megan decided to attend a Vegas Young Professionals event with a few friends. When she arrived she saw her friend Kevin and went over to say hello. When she approached Kevin he was standing there talking to Michael. Kevin introduced us both and mentioned Megan is a Delta Zeta and Michael is a Pike. Megan said, "Hey, wait a minute, aren't you Mike The Super Pike?". That he was. We began talking and continued talking the rest of the night. The next day Michael reached out to Megan to ask her to lunch. After an amazing lunch, they scheduled a dinner date and had their first kiss on a balcony overlooking the lights of the Las Vegas strip. Which now has ended up being the last first kiss they both would ever have.

Megan and Michael spent the summer dating and getting to know each other and falling in love. Come fall Megan and Michael were madly in love and knew they had something special together.

Over the years Megan and Michael have experienced so much life together both good times and bad. They have traveled together many places, started new jobs, adopted a dog together, Michael got his MBA degree, Megan learned to ski, had many laughs and memories together.

The proposal

Megan and Michael travel to Colorado for Christmas with her family and to ski every year. During this trip, they had planned to ski a few days in Breckenridge before Christmas. As they were driving down the freeway they passed the exit for Breckenridge. Megan tells Michael, "Hey you missed the exit." He says "Oh I didn't tell you I found a hotel deal in Beaver Creek for tonight so we are going to ski there today instead." Megan said, "Oh my God that's awesome because Beaver Creek is my favorite." They spent a beautiful day skiing at Beaver Creek. During the day Michael tells Megan that they have to be ready for dinner at 5 pm as they have a reservation at Beano's Cabin for dinner, a place they had been trying to get into for years. It's 5 pm and they board the sleigh that takes you on an open-air sleigh ride to the top of the mountain to the restaurant. It's sunset and just beginning to snow, the sleigh ride was utterly romantic. They have the most amazing 5-course dinner and the restaurant even has gluten-free bread and Megan exclaims this is the best day of her life because they have gluten free bread. They finish dinner and the server asks if they would like to finish their drinks by the fireplace, they say yes. Megan is thinking they are just trying to turn the table for the next guest and when she arrives at the fireplace and sees champagne and strawberries set up she says to Michael "Wow this is a nice place, complimentary champagne for getting kicked out of the table, I'll take it." They sit down in the rocking chairs for a few minutes and then Michael drops to one knee and asks Megan "Will you marry me?" She screamed "Yes!!!" and cried tears of joy.

Megan and Michael can't wait to share this special time with everyone and show you all a little bit of why the Colorado mountains are such a special place to them.
